Yeah, I find the lack of general discussion or acknowledgement of the importance of upload speed, especially when it comes to any sort of competitive edge or business (especially small business) advantage really frustrating.

At least the Labor plan had something that would be ubiquitous and a big improvement. It was only in the late stages of the election campaign that Turnbull responded on upload speed at all with regard to what we could expect for FTTN, and the response didn't impress me at all (from memory something like 6-15mbps).

We're increasingly using cloud services for business and increasingly frustrated by download and more so upload speed. My office is on ADSL 2+. Today our book keeper wanted to get a meager 50 mb worth of files to our accountant after email failed to do it for her. I showed her how to quickly share from Sugarsync (bit like Dropbox)..... then there was the painful wait for the upload sync to finish to the cloud server before the accountants could get the files ... this was only 50mb of data!
